Yes, but then how do you get the power down? What about some £20 wheel trims stuck over the alloys?(Needs crappy steel rims to complete the look IMHO)

Thanks for the comments 
Im in the process of sorting a set of gt turbo spare steel wheels out & fitting them with r888's for a more stealthy look.
Here are a few of the build pics.
The donor engine, out of an early r11 turbo i stripped many years ago.
Van as standard 1.9d.
The first build.
T28 turbo.
The first build finished.
Koni yellows/mintex 1144 up front.
With this engine setup - Fmic/t28/exhaust/16lb boost & carb setup with wideband afr gauge i got 161hp at the fly & 14.6 @ 90 on the qtr.

Got used to the power easily so decided to fit a hot cam to compliment the bigger turbo. Seemed a shame pulling it to bits as it has never missed a beat in a few thousand miles but needs must.
Engine out once again.
Degreeing the hot stick.
Give it a lick of paint.
Removed derv mount as it got in the way.
Engine spec at the moment -
Stock compression c1j/bottom end.
Custom spec cam & vernier.
Piper valve springs.
Armtech rev limiter set at 7200.
Valeo 'uprated' clutch.
Alloy Fmic off frontera.
Tiger 2.5" downpipe/side exit exhaust, Bung fitted in downpipe for lambda sensor.
Carb Jetting adjusted by myself with wideband afr gauge, Fuels for 18lb boost @ manifold for now.
R5gtt fuel system & all fuel lines renewed. Retained the derv tank as it is essentially the same.
Chassis Mods -
R5gtt hubs, Driveshafts & front brakes with mintex 1144 pads.
Koni sport shockers with -25mm springs, Torsion bar adjusted to suit. 1.5 deg negative camber up front.
Goes a lot better with the new engine spec, Cant wait to test it out on the qtr mile

How do carbs deal with the fueling on a turbo?
Don't know much about it, but from my limited knowledge of electronic management systems, don't they have sensors/knock sensors to adjust timing and fueling based on various factors?
With a carb, does it just dump it in?
Cheers,
P.S. Great build by the way.

(old skool tuning!)The gtt carb has 2 stage enrichment circuit for on boost fuelling. Ignition is controlled via the Aei, Basically a primitive ecu for ign with knock control & has a vac capsule that adjusts the ignition when it senses boost. It all works pretty well for 80's technology.
Give it a clean up today so took a couple of pics
